Just be aware the SD has the cold bug which affects phase change and other ultra extreme cooling - the only systems capable of getting the 4000+ to near 4 ghz.Originally Posted by Gsus_Freak

The coldbug is at -80C or something like that, isn't it? Also, Im sure the fx-57 won't have this coldbug, people would boycott amd's headquaters if it did.

I just got myself a 3700+ SD chip, it's week 15 SPMW if I remember correctly, so far only 250x11 (2750) and 1.65Volts... Doesn't seem to like low voltages though... any thoughts?

I can't wait to receive mine tomorrow, Monarch have got another very happy and satisfied customer for life!!
So far how high can you guys OC your San Diego on air to and still prime stable or 3Dmark loop ?? I think we need a database to keep all the OC records and steppings we got
I'm in a dilemma of whether to get a SD 3700+ or a Venice 3500+. Guys you think which one will be a better performer? in terms of overclocking..
u get 1MB L2 with 3700+ SD. i'd go for that, since your already paying that high of a price.

I'm running the Venice 3200 now but will find out soon enough how well the 3700 SD gonna OC against it though so far all the SD are running pretty hot, not sure if I could get it up to 2.9 on air...Originally Posted by webbyboy

its a nice boost. i wouldnt call it earth shattering though...
is it worth the 60USD? hmm.. thats debatable..

extra cache means about 5% gain. And Charlie already said that it is faster clock for clock vs FX55

Case: cooler master cm690
Charlie may have said that, but has never been tested...and most likely the gains are from the 90nm architecture and the SSE3 and other Rev E goodies...but not by much and a well overclocked FX-55 is still king around here.Originally Posted by mcbarnet007
3700+ San Diego vs 3500+ Venice at stock is more than a 5% gain...they are practically world apart, especially ppl with 3200+ Venices have had more luck than Venice 3500+ owners lol
btw, mcbarnet...Your sig...You tried to write "Mobo: Dfi ...." but it read it as "Mobo fi " lol...hence the smiley...just put a space after "Mobo:" and you'll be fine

I just wondering those temp on the SD OC Thread, it's like hovering around 28-32, is it in airconditioning room? Or is it the weather temp is at that temperature? my winchester no oc it's at 36 degree.
I know Charlie said it's a feeling but I think he's been here long enough to know what he's talking about. Can someone just run some test and see how FX55 do clock for clock vs SD?Originally Posted by perkam
When I said 3700+ is 5% faster than 3500+ I was refering to stock. And the only difference between the two is cache that's why I said the extra cache will give you 5% performance boost minimum clock for clock. I thought this has been well established already.
Yes, don't get 3500+, I have one and it sux. You'll prob be better off buying two 3000+ and one will prob turn out to be a good clocker.
LOL, I know my sig is messed up but it just looks funny so I kept it that way. Going to change it soon anyways.
btw, after removing IHS on my 3700 I hit 3ghz 16M stable (no time to run 32M) on water with 1.65v. However it scored the same as 2.9ghz cuz I had to run in divider. Will post after conrad gives me permission.
Time for lunch. Will update after that =D

Just wundering about something, I'm kinda keen on ordering a SD 3700+ from Monarch Computers, but I live in norway and I can't see any shipping information! Do they send internationally
The San Diego's won't reach Norway before june I believe and the prices in Norway are stupid high! I have sent them an e-mail about this question, but they are ignoring me!
Moore's Law has been replaced by "Paul's Paradox": the number of canceled products per year at Intel will double every year after the introduction of the AMD Opteron™ processor.
Im not a happy camper one day before monarch is suppose to get 4000 procs in they lower the price by about 60-70 bucks. Im thinkin of cnaceling my order and waiting if I have to get another order. Maybe if I call in the morning they'll give em to me at lower price? Since tecnically they haven't finished processing my order.

What is the deal with Super Pi ??? I can't get the SD to pass 16 or 32 meg regardless of OC, voltages, memory settings etc ? but I can run prime95 all day long !!! whats the trick ?
I've never really used Super Pi to bench, only to test for stablity and even then only usually run 1, 2, and 4 meg so I'm not real sure what the deal is with the 16 and 32 !

curious major, i'm having the opposite problem. superPI is being awesome, but prime95 hates me, and proceeds to spew out 100 warnings, but no errors
Got a fan over those memory sticks? No? Well get to it before you kill them
heh, I play CS:S for an hour and it usually tells me if something is wrong.
Some benchmarks don't utilize all parts of your CPU. Thus, it's best to be sure you're stable in: Prime, SuperPi, 3DMark, and some game you play a lot.Originally Posted by Major Slaughter
